They also visited one of the UWT labs and talked to a scientist about how they test samples from the land fill to be sure that chemicals are not leeching into the ground water. The Center is doing some really interesting work.

Center for Urban Waters
The Center for Urban Waters is a 51,000 square foot office and lab building that houses the City of Tacoma Environmental Services labs and offices, University of Washington Tacoma researchers and the Puget Sound Partnership. The Alchemists visited to learn about what the center is doing to protect Puget Sound and the Foss Waterway as well as the amazing design of the building. The building is made from recycled materials, pervious pavers that capture rain water, rain gardens, and a planted roof top.
